221: Su Fan teaches the secret to not crying during first love: stand upside down!

10 PM.

The silent night sky was bathed in moonlight, and the stars twinkled with faint light.

The entire city seemed to have fallen asleep, with only a gentle breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness.

A dilapidated apartment complex.

Su Fan and Mu Xiaowan walked in silence, bathed in the moonlight.

Suddenly, Mu Xiaowan's timid voice rang out:

"Junior, I'm home. Thank you for walking me back!"

"Uh, that... do you want to come up for a cup of tea?"

Mu Xiaowan had only intended to be polite.

Her head was spinning right now, and she just wanted to go home quickly to sort out what had happened today, and then decide whether to move out of the city immediately... But she didn't expect her ordinary-looking junior to completely miss her perfunctory offer, or consider the awkwardness of a single man and woman being alone in a room, and he agreed without a second thought.

"Okay (o´ω`o)و, then I'll trouble you, Senior."

"(⊙o⊙) Uh... *cough cough*, okay, okay, please come in. Have a cup of tea and rest first!"

Mu Xiaowan's expression stiffened, and she led the way with an awkward smile.

Her junior was her benefactor, after all.

If it weren't for him, she might still be controlled by that crazy Overbearing CEO, so she didn't feel right about sending him away in the middle of the night... Two and a half minutes later.

Mu Xiaowan pushed open a door, turned on the light, and led Su Fan inside.

"Sorry, I haven't cleaned much lately, it's a bit messy. Please don't mind it!"

Looking at the clothes strewn all over the room, Mu Xiaowan's face was full of embarrassment, wishing she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into.

Only then did she remember how she usually let herself go, being sloppy and rarely tidying up her room, with clothes scattered everywhere.

Especially since she had been confined to the Huo Family recently, she hadn't cleaned the house for several days, and the room had developed an odd smell.

"It's fine, Senior, don't worry about it."

Su Fan smiled and waved his hand.

However, a hint of surprise still flashed in his pupils.

The Mu Xiaowan he remembered was very clean...

"Uh... you rest for a bit, Junior. Let me tidy up."

After inviting Su Fan to sit on the sofa, Mu Xiaowan quickly hid the thong underwear, white bra, and other personal items on the floor with lightning speed.

Then she opened all the windows to ensure ventilation, and the strange smell gradually dissipated.

Mu Xiaowan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, brewed a cup of Pu'er tea, and brought it to Su Fan.

"Junior, ( ^‐^)_ and~~ drink tea~~"

"Thank you." Su Fan took a small sip.

Silence~~~

So awkward! What should I say?

Seeing the situation suddenly go quiet.

Mu Xiaowan remained calm on the surface, but her delicate feet under the table couldn't help but make small movements, her toes constantly digging into the floor in embarrassment, almost digging out a three-bedroom apartment...

"Senior, where are your parents? Why are you living alone?"

Su Fan put the teacup back on the coffee table, pretending to casually inquire about Mu Xiaowan's situation.

He remembered that Mu Xiaowan was an only child, and her parents doted on her like a treasure in their palm, so how could they allow her to live alone in such a remote neighborhood?

And when he asked Mu Xiaowan about her job on the way here, she said she was selling hand-grabbed pancakes at a street stall???

But she clearly came from a prestigious school, with excellent grades.

After graduation, she should have been able to find a good job, right?

How could she have fallen to such a state?!

Su Fan's heart felt a pang of bitterness, an indescribable feeling, and he could only sigh that things had changed beyond recognition...

"My parents... they died in a car accident three years ago."

Mentioning her parents, Mu Xiaowan's beautiful eyes instantly dimmed.

The reason she had given up on herself and lived such a 'get by' life.

One of the reasons was the death of her parents; her world completely collapsed, and she had been alone ever since.

As for those snobbish relatives, after snatching the property left by her parents, they kicked her out of the house.

Then, after wandering for a while...

She finally pulled herself together a little, learned some skills from a kind old woman, and started setting up a street stall.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up... I..."

After hearing about Mu Xiaowan's experiences over the years, a hint of heartache flashed in Su Fan's eyes, and he didn't know how to comfort her.

"It's okay, it's been so many years... I've long come to terms with it."

Mu Xiaowan took a deep breath and tried to force out a smile.

(*￣︶￣)

But this smile, in Su Fan's eyes, was so sorrowful.

"If you're sad, you can cry it out. It's not good to bottle it up, I can lend you my shoulder to lean on."

"Huh? No... no need... thank you..."

Looking at Mu Xiaowan's somewhat strange and awkward expression.

Su Fan was stunned for a moment, then realized his impropriety.

In her eyes, he was a stranger she had just met, and saying such intimate words was clearly inappropriate.

"You... don't misunderstand, I didn't mean it like that..."

Seeing Su Fan wave his hands repeatedly, explaining frantically, Mu Xiaowan suddenly burst out laughing, feeling much lighter.

She found it a little hard to imagine that this flustered man in front of her was the martial arts Master who had dominated the Celebration Banquet.

When she was with him before... she would always involuntarily think of Su Fan's identity as a Master, and subconsciously felt a little afraid.

However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that he might not be as difficult to get along with as she had imagined...

Seeing Mu Xiaowan amused.

Although Su Fan was a bit puzzled, he inexplicably felt relieved.

The next second.

He ignored Mu Xiaowan's surprised and confused gaze, placed his hands on the ground, and stood on his head on the sofa.

"What are you doing? | _・)??????"

Facing the question, Su Fan explained very seriously:

"My Master once told me..."

"A man sheds blood, not tears! Especially a martial artist, shedding tears is the weakest expression!"

"If one day, you truly can't control your emotions. When you want to cry, just do a handstand! That way, the tears won't fall!"

"So whenever I feel like crying, I do a handstand on the spot."

"I want to teach you this trick, so you won't have to pretend to be strong anymore."

"..."

Looking at Su Fan's upside-down face, Mu Xiaowan was instantly petrified.

━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━.

You want a delicate girl like me to do a handstand like you?!

And isn't this some cheesy plot from a TV show?

Is your Master... really a proper person... Mu Xiaowan's mouth twitched non-stop.

She was completely convinced of one thing: this guy... was definitely an 84K pure steel straight man!!!!!!!
